Yes you can exchange them during 10 years after 2002, but you unfortunately need to go to the Banque de France in Paris or to any of the banque de France office (http://www.banque-france.fr/gb/instit/hi... :

It also depends of the version

If it is a blue one, it is exchangeable until 17th february 2012. Otherwise, it is too late.

You can use the following solution to exchange your french banknotes :

by registered mail to :

Banque de France

Caisse Générale

France

- registered mail can only include redeemable banknotes (no coins allowed), - up to 5000€, - exchange against euro banknotes only, - the amount in rounded at the lower 5€ unit,
